L1 DLC
MDM.L1.DLC.BK
design by Fabian Schwaerzler
Nomination Swiss Design Award 2019
Mr Fabian Schwaerzler is the man to thank for Maurice de Mauriac‘s ‘L1’ watch – he says it’s one of the designs he’s most proud of, and we can see why. This reference has a stainless steel case with a black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that’s abrasion- and scratch-resistant – it’s also anti-allergenic because it’s applied by vacuum. The 10 bar water resistance means it can be worn while washing your hands, showering and even swimming.

Watch Specifications
Automatic in DLC, side perspective
The cases for automatic watches are 11 mm tall and have a crown. The crown offers good grip and precise turning, thereby making adjustments to the watch very easy. The watch is water resistant to 10 ATM. This means that the watch can be worn, for example, while washing your hands, in the rain, in the shower, while washing the car, skiing, trekking or swimming.” automatic in DLC, caseback
Our display back case uses a blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal and thus allow for an unobstructed view of the pulsating calibre. One has the feeling that the soul of the mechanical automatic movement can both be felt and seen. The watch is alive. Together with the possibility of the custom labelled rotor, each watch becomes a truly personal gift – even to oneself. Caliber ETA 28.24-2
ETA 28.24-2 is one of the most famous Swiss watch movement.TOP Execution

DLC coating
Stainless steel or titanium with a DLC-coating (Diamond-Like-Carbon) stands out via its beautiful grey / black colour. DLC makes stainless steel extremely abrasion and scratch resistant. Moreover, the layer of carbon applied in a state-of-the-art vacuum process is also highly anti-allergenic. The darker, the brighter
Super-LumiNova is a brand name under which strontium aluminate–based non-radioactive and non-toxic photoluminescent or afterglow pigments for illuminating markings on watch dials, hands and bezels, etc. in the dark are marketed. This technology offers up to ten times higher brightness than previous zinc sulfide-based materials. When the luminescent pigments were stimulated by daylight or artificial light, they give off the light energy in the dark for several hours. This gives the watch extremely good legibility even in the dark. Personalised engraving
Together with an inscribed rotor, every watch becomes a highly emotional gift. Even to yourself. 1

L-Series
Fabian Schwaerzler, Swiss designer and as such purist, has chosen the line as a design element and thus designed the L-series, the line series, from the Bauhaus era into the present. They have become icons of watch design. His design allows the watches to be discreetly present, but also to fill the space. Follow the line. It will show you the beauty of time.
The first Rallymaster IV pick up - was a special one✨
Buying a watch for your brother 40th Birthday is always special, but picking his birth year as limitation number & engraving the rotor with „Together since Day One“ and last but not least combining it with a watch maker workshop makes it super special. ❤️
Thank you @jan_truch & @michael.truch - we will not forget this one.
Happy Monday everybody.
PS: For the other buyers of the Rallymaster IV, check your mail box, the delivery goes out today!

The doors are officially open at the new address — Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zurich — and we celebrated in style. Great people, great vibes, bold watches, and plenty of reasons to raise a glass.
Right in the heart of Zurich, the new space feels exactly like us: special, colorful, historic, and full of character.
Here’s to new beginnings, good times, and ticking into the future together.

We are incredibly excited about this big step and can’t wait to welcome you into our new home at Rämistrasse 5.
We found the perfect place. Beautifully enough, it sits just opposite our father’s favourite restaurant @kronenhalle (We like to think of it as his sign from heaven)
Please note that we will be closed from February 9 to 15 while we move.
From Monday, February 16, we look forward to opening our doors at our new address:
Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zürich. #moving #mauricedemauriac #rämistrasse

Incredible! The Russell Story continues…
After visiting us during the @zurichfilmfestival Russell invited us to personally deliver his Rallymaster IV to his farm in Nana Glen. So after launching it in Melbourne during AO 2026 we went to see him on his farm and stayed full three days. We had just an amazing TIME.
This is a real dream coming true and an once in a life time experience! But most important it shows that also Hollywoodstars are only human beings who love community & family ❤️
